formatting date/time correctly for If-Modified-Since during AJAX call

[Cartoper]

How does one go about formatting the date/time string correctly to set
the If-Modified-Since to the current date/time in an AJAX call? I
know I need something like this:

request.setRequ estHeader('If-Modified-Since','Wed, 05 Apr 2006
00:00:00 GMT');

But I don't know how to actually format the date/time string.

Why do you need to check it against current date/time? It will ALWAYS
return 304...
But, you might want to look at dateObj.toUTCSt ring()
